One of my sisters is a bohemian and she taught herself to play guitar. She was heavily influenced by Bob Dylan, Peter, Paul and Mary and finally Simon and Garfunkel. As a wee tot, this is one of two songs she played that made me cry.

Amber, may I suggest that when you have the time, you explore some of the works of Leonard Cohen. He's best remembered in the states, when he's remembered, for writing the song Hallelujah. He was a Canadian poet who moved to the states to become a songwriter. He subsequently became a singer. His lyrics, and poems are beautiful and his life story is fascinating.
Dylan won both the Pulitzer Prize "profound impact on popular music and American culture, and the the Nobel Prize in literature. Very few have won both.

Figure this is the best spot to mention a Dylan contemporary who's been forgotten for too long--since he died in 1976. Phil Ochs (pronounced Oaks) offered some brutally honest folk music that dealt with things like civil rights (Too Many Martyrs, Here's to the State of Mississippi), free speech (I'm Gonna Say It Now) as well as anti-war anthems (Draft Dodger Rag, I Ain't Marching Anymore). One song of his that's sadly relevant right now is "Knock on the Door"--about living under dictatorships. He also had a bitterly sarcastic song about people's apathy about getting involved, "Outside of a Small Circle of Friends," as well as the poignant "When I'm Gone." Some powerful music that is worth a listen.
Love this song, but you should listen to the original by Bob Dylan (as this is someone else, not sure who tho). Can you also react to Bob Dylan - The Times They are A Changin'?! Such a great song and relevant throughout all the ages, I would say!!
Hurricane, Dylan's song about wrongly convicted pro boxer Rubin "Hurricane" Carter is the best kind of storytelling in a song! That should be your next Dylan reaction.
@@Spo-Dee-O-Dee I think, perhaps, you may want to do more homework on how Reuben Carter was convicted. I was born in NJ in the early 60’s, I’ve heard about the man my entire life. I had the honor of privately meeting him in the early 90’s in Boston. Despite his reputation as a boxer, I can honestly say he is one of the most gentle souls I have ever been in the presence of. He absolutely radiated peace. It wasn’t a simple matter of being “wrongly convicted”, the man was railroaded through the court system simply because he was a black man driving an expensive car through the wrong neighborhood by a police chief who had political ambitions. Other than that, there was absolutely no evidence against him. For the crime of being black, he spent 20yrs on death row.
Bowie wrote that Dylan had a “voice like sand and glue”. Whoever this is just sounds like he has a heavy cold. This ain’t Bob. It’s not bad I guess, but you need to hear Bob sing it.
I used to work in a supermarket, I get that it's frustrating, when you are too busy or not busy enough, having to stay there, until the day's work is done, or your shift is over, when people can be crabby and your feet hurt and you are getting tired. So I tell shop-workers to "have fun, when they get out of there." Just acknowledging that work is not usually fun, and looking forward to getting out of there, is a constant. I get lots of smiles, from workers, maybe I could have just taken their mind off things, given them something else to think about, or even made their day, you can never know. It never hurts to be kind.
To this day I remember learning this song at school and it impacting me so much even back then. We had a teacher who gave us her heartfelt almost tearful explanation to us of Bob Dylan the one time too. This song more than any other....haunts and inspires you at the same time.
This is song was written during the 60's when the Vietnam War was at its height but is timeless in its message. He had such an influence on the era's music, a modern poet/bard. I like the version by Peter, Paul and Mary the best.
We used to sing this song in elementary school music class and at church in the late sixties and early seventies. Also, Dylan's idol was Woody Guthrie from Oklahoma. Y'all should do some Woody Guthrie songs sometime.
Dylan was the voice of the young…. He sang what we were protesting about, making the protests believable. I guess he started the free thinker movement…. And what we thought was wonderful was he wasn’t afraid….he knew how powerful his words were and are and put them in song.
Please react to Diamonds and Rust by Joan Baez on female Friday. Diamonds and Rust is so beautiful and is written about a phone call from Bob Dylan ten years after they broke up. Bob Dylan received a Nobel Prize for his poetry.
"Lay, Lady, Lay" is a really good Bob Dylan song nobody talks about. He can change his voice to fit the mood, which he does well in this song. Great background music that's very catchy as well.
Sorry to say guys, but that is definitely NOT Bob Dylan - it's just a cover version, and not all that good either. Definitely worth listening to the original - the 20th century's greatest poet.
There was no feeling or depth in the voice. My first thought was that this isn't Dylan. I'm glad I'm not going crazy. I've seen a few reactors thinking they were listening to him when they're not.
Only thing I Shazam the song while playing, it said Bob Dylan but remember it's a long time ago and our ears have changed but that's young Bob if it is.
Please react to the song "He ain't heavy , he's my brother" by the Hollies. It's a very beautiful and deep song and it's perfect for the times we're living right now.
@@johncagnettajr344 Well, the album was released in May of 1963 (and song was written in 1962). I don't mean to quibble - I only mean to point out that the song wasn't written about Vietnam. (At the time the song was written, there was much more concern about the war between India and China or the Cuban Missile Crisis.) It's brilliant because it's so universal and it took on huge cultural significance later in the 1960s because of Vietnam and the Civil Rights movement.
The 1968 release by The Band on their first album "Music From Big Pink" is also amazing.....Just listen to Garth Hudson's haunting organ, and Richard Manual's falsetto singing....Just beautiful.....
The poet laureate,the maestro,the voice of a generation and those to come. In the heyday of Folk in the 50’s and 60’s, They were two giants Pete Seeger and Bob Dylan.
Totally endorse "Blowin' in the Wind". It is a plea that reaches out across the generations to ask: "what is our point here?" "What is it that we're trying to do (or maybe just THINKING about doing)??"
Need to dive into more of Bob's back up band. Also known as "The Band". Up on Cripple Creek, Stage Fright, Ophelia, and the Night They Drove Ol' Dixie Down are just a sample of there vast catalog.
Joe and Eddie ‘there’s a Meeting Here Tonight’, ‘Mariah’ folk as well. Also Peter, Paul, and Mary ‘early morning train’, ‘don’t think twice’. Can’t go wrong w Bob’s poetry and realism.
I made a mistake recommending Mr Tambourine Man then discovered you'd already reacted to it, so I'm taking a chance on recommending With God On Our Side. They're truly DEEP meaningful lyrics
Two other songs that are a part of the anti-war culture of the 1960 are "Where Have All the Flowers Gone" by Pete Seeger (not Bob Seger). Also, the Irish classic "Scarborough Fair" version that Simon and Garfunkel did.
Listen to 'The Hurricane '. Based on a true story about Rubin Carter, a boxer wrongly imprisoned for murder. Bob Dylan also campaigned for his release.

A short story. During the early sixties, when folk music was big, Joan Baez was at the top. So, I went to a concert of hers back in 1961. During the concert she introduced a ‘friend’ of hers (probably lovers) named bob Zimmerman. He was unknown at the time, and everyone booed him because of his voice. He later changed his name to Bob Dylan. All this music like ‘blowing in the wind’, ‘The Times They Are A Changing’ were made in the early 60’s. He soon took over the folk music scene. The song ‘Like A Rolling Stone’ (also of the 60’s) is called ‘FOLK ROCK’. I was born in the 1940’s, so I grew up in the 50/60’s. You may. Find this hard to believe but, i remembered when rock and roll never existed.

It is Peter Paul and Mary's version that I know. Bob Dylan's "all along the watchtower" was made famous by Jimi Hendrix and is part of the background of the 60's/70's and my life. We often talk about the original, or the live, or the best cover. "all along the watchtower" by Jimi is a must do for many reasons.

The Bee Gees started out as child prodigies in the music industry in the very-late 1950s. Their best performance as teenagers is their 1963 TV performance of their cover of the Bob Dylan song, "Blowing In The Wind", and is available for viewing here on TH-cam.
Reactors seem to be getting fooled by this guy all the time. Dylan music gets blocked so this guy's videos are always unknowingly being used instead. Of course, Bob's songs are so good that people still have unending praise; but make no mistake, Bob's delivery is superior to the copycat.
**WAIT.....WHAT?!?!?!?** I hate to break it to you guys but that's not Bob Dylan, not by a long shot. Sounds like a bad celebrity impersonator. Whoever this is he needs to be stopped immediately!!!

ButternutGOLD, this IS Bob Dylan, take it from me - I was there. This song was an anthem for my generation. It summarizes the sixties better than any other single work.
Amber and Jordan please react to JOAN BAEZ “Diamonds and Rust” said to be written about their relationship. She really helped put Dylan on the map. And yes Bob Dylan is one of the GOATS of songwriting, right up there with Joni.
The lyrics in so many songs are poetry and who reads poetry nowadays. In the modern times lyrics in songs are poetry, even in Heavy Metal. Some songs are good, some songs are bad, and some songs are just great. I have been listening to so many lyrics since I was a teen in the 1970's, and I try to understand what the song is about (even Modonnas music). Now I'm 63 and lyrics have more meaning to me as in my youth. Words don't come easy 🤗
Bob was the poet of his generation. Won the Nobel Prize in Literature
Yet you couldn’t spot this isn’t him.
@@andrewwright9378 didnt say it was, and not my generation
I’d default to Jim Morrison
I believe it was the son The times they are a changing, what a great song, it is also on president Obama's Play list, not at all suprised.

It doesn't sound like Bob Dylan, I agree
Dylan has more rasp in his voice.
It's Matt Corrado.
Plus the guitar pluckin seemed out of place...too loud and busy. His voice is far louder in his regular version. Too bad!
It's Arlo Guthrie. His voice is unmistakable.

Bob Dylan is STILL making albums and STILL touring. Winner of the Nobel Prize for poetry.

Good mention on Ochs. "I Ain't a Marching' Anymore," at my age...except to the bathroom a lot lol
Power and the Glory is good

Sure doesnt sound like him and the music has been dubbed
You should hear the Stevie Wonder version.
it's missing the "Yes, and" before each "how many".
Bob Dylan truly is a great poet. Take the music out of any of his songs and it’s a great poem.
Hurricane, Dylan's song about wrongly convicted pro boxer Rubin "Hurricane" Carter is the best kind of storytelling in a song! That should be your next Dylan reaction.

This video reminded me of Ian Tyson.
Four Strong Winds was done with his wife Sylvia. My mum grew up with Sylvia’s family. Ian was one half of Ian and Sylvia before he went solo.
Absolute must Bob Dylan "Brownsville Girl" must do it!

PS - & I think Bob has admitted he was successful DESPITE his voice -- but he knew how to use it to its emotional capacity -- GENIUS (again)
This song has been covered by so many artists. This came out during the Vietnam war…
It came out in 1963, before the Vietnam War -- or more specifically, before the US military got involved.

You have just touched Bob Dylan songs. You have multiple genres to get to. My next suggestion is " Lay, Lady, Lay". It is more of a country-ish song

Bob Dylan is always genuine even as he progressed to electric guitar. Check out the Traveling Wilburysfor a treat.

many people believe he was referring to the answer is in the american flag which is " blowing in the wind "
Gotta react to "Make Your Own Kind of Music", by Cass Elliot on "Female Friday"!!!😀😀
Good suggestion!
Sam Cooke was jealous of this song , it sparked him to write "A change is gonna Come"

This is a cover version. Dylan's people try to keep the original studio recordings of his songs off of TH-cam unless they post them themselves as Official videos. Many of them claiming to be Dylan that aren't Official on TH-cam are cover artists scamming themselves as Dylan. Here is the Official video of the original studio version by Dylan: th-cam.com/video/MMFj8uDubsE/w-d-xo.html
A short story. During the early sixties, when folk music was big, Joan Baez was at the top. So, I went to a concert of hers back in 1961. During the concert she introduced a ‘friend’ of hers (probably lovers) named bob Zimmerman. He was unknown at the time, and everyone booed him because of his voice. He later changed his name to Bob Dylan. All this music like ‘blowing in the wind’, ‘The Times They Are A Changing’ were made in the early 60’s. He soon took over the folk music scene. The song ‘Like A Rolling Stone’ (also of the 60’s) is called ‘FOLK ROCK’. I was born in the 1940’s, so I grew up in the 50/60’s. You may. Find this hard to believe but, i remembered when rock and roll never existed.
That's not Bob Dylan
Hi guy’s 🙋🏻♀️ this is another great song choice!
Great song!
Speaking Of Classic Songs With An Important Message,, Ralph McTell "Streets Of London"
...A MUST HEAR.
Great suggestion
Another timeless song that also fits in with todays world is Eve Of Destruction by Barry McGuire. You should react to this as well
An icon in words. Try Like a Rolling Stone. Just a beginning of his odyssey. My Idol. Thank you so much!
I don't think this is Bob Dylan singing this one

Timeless, is so the right word. Subterrian Homesick Blues, true classic and so ahead of is time. Thanks again for this memory. Smile
His 1975 song, "Hurricane" is an eight-minute hard-hitting classic.
Fantastic song especially when you know when it was recorded .. 😀 Love the reaction. Greetings from Norway. Love
It is amazing how fast you pause songs and how long you talk about 10 seconds of a song! BTW this is NOT Dylan!
The answers are still blowing' in the wind. I love this song.
Sorry kids, this is a cover.
I know Bob, and this isn't Bob.

its so good to see you two understand the music love your innocence and wonder of discovery
That isn't Bob Dylan.
I think the poetry in "A hard rain is gonna fall" might be even better.
Dylan classic but doesn't sound like it is him singing. You should react to Dylan singing "You Gotta Serve Someone" There is a duet with Tom Petty "Knocking on Heaven's Door"
Highly recommend the duet.

Excellent guys. Peace and embrace empathy x
How many times will you listen to cheesy Bob Dylan covers, before you hear the real man? The answer is blowin' in the wind.
This is a cover version, though the artist got his voice close to the sound of Dylan.

It is Peter Paul and Mary's version that I know. Bob Dylan's "all along the watchtower" was made famous by Jimi Hendrix and is part of the background of the 60's/70's and my life. We often talk about the original, or the live, or the best cover. "all along the watchtower" by Jimi is a must do for many reasons.
I agree, I don't think that's Bob Dylan

The Bee Gees started out as child prodigies in the music industry in the very-late 1950s. Their best performance as teenagers is their 1963 TV performance of their cover of the Bob Dylan song, "Blowing In The Wind", and is available for viewing here on TH-cam.
Reactors seem to be getting fooled by this guy all the time. Dylan music gets blocked so this guy's videos are always unknowingly being used instead. Of course, Bob's songs are so good that people still have unending praise; but make no mistake, Bob's delivery is superior to the copycat.
Bob Dylan "Simple Twist Of Fate",, "Lay Lady Lay" & "Things Have Changed"
**WAIT.....WHAT?!?!?!?**
I hate to break it to you guys but that's not Bob Dylan, not by a long shot. Sounds like a bad celebrity impersonator. Whoever this is he needs to be stopped immediately!!! LOL Here's the real deal..... th-cam.com/video/MMFj8uDubsE/w-d-xo.html
My favorite Dylan song is.....
"Tangled Up In Blue" th-cam.com/video/QKcNyMBw818/w-d-xo.html
*AND*
"Hurricane" th-cam.com/video/bpZvg_FjL3Q/w-d-xo.html
Peace
ButternutGOLD, this IS Bob Dylan, take it from me - I was there. This song was an anthem for my generation. It summarizes the sixties better than any other single work.
Um, that’s not Bob Dylan.
This is awesomely beautiful and perceptive commentary. Thank you guys!
Not sure this is Bob Dylan 🤔
Yeah, what others said. This is not Bob Dylan singing. This is a cover.
My fav version is by Peter, Paul and Mary. Love their videos where the audience sings the chorus with them. Many have tears in their eyes. Powerful.
As my mother said that Bob Dylan was way ahead of his time, his songs sent a message on peace, racism, hunger, and especially war
Amber and Jordan please react to JOAN BAEZ “Diamonds and Rust” said to be written about their relationship. She really helped put Dylan on the map. And yes Bob Dylan is one of the GOATS of songwriting, right up there with Joni.
Okay, you took my idea away. I'll add one thing though, they should do it on a female Friday. How about that?
The lyrics in so many songs are poetry and who reads poetry nowadays.
In the modern times lyrics in songs are poetry, even in Heavy Metal. Some songs are good, some songs are bad, and some songs are just great.
I have been listening to so many lyrics since I was a teen in the 1970's, and I try to understand what the song is about (even Modonnas music). Now I'm 63 and lyrics have more meaning to me as in my youth.
Words don't come easy 🤗
Not Bob Dylan
Peter, Paul and Mary also do a wonderful cover of this song. Well worth checking out sometime.
